If you're looking for current information about the Brayton church fire, please scroll down to March 22nd's post "A Fire at Brayton Church" and click on the "comments" link at the bottom of the post. I list any information I've received and answer questions there.

Here's video of the chapel I took Saturday morning:

and video of the gym, the two most effected areas. Hallways and classrooms are wet, strewn with ash and debris, but remarkably intact.

good morning, scribbit. our brayton ward service was beautiful this morning. the church is the same, no matter what bldg we gather together in to worship together. and it was just awesome to get to see and hug my ward family and my primary kids this morning.

it was my honor to be asked to give the opening prayer. i also included your dad in the prayer, hoping that he bounces back quickly in his surgery recovery. i felt lucky to get to give the prayer and also to get to speak during the testimony time. it felt so peaceful to be in the chapel while the ward spoke and shared. everybody was so positive overall. everything goes on, just in different bldgs and homes for the time being. it's working out just fine.

overall, the church is still the same no matter where we meet :)

it's all good. i feel so lucky and grateful to be a member of this wonderful church. so glad i chose to become a member of our church 2 years ago. never have i felt greater contentment, joy, and peace since before choosing this church 2 yrs ago.

this is good. last night, our brayton ward young women (the laurels) did a great service project. they met at a youth leader's home (can't meet at the church since it is burned up) and made homemade cookies then delivered them to the fire station to thank the firefighters for fighting our church fire. the firefighters were pleased. one guy said he was on a diet, so couldn't partake :)

what a nice gesture. and one of the youth thought it up to do this.

scribbit, hope your dad is starting to feel better since his surgery last week.
